ES&C Receives Robinson Grant from the Constitutional Rights Foundation

BLACKSBURG, VA (11/30/2004) - Environmental Services & Consulting (ES&C), in partnership with Montgomery County Public Schools, received a Robinson Grant from the Constitutional Rights Foundation in support of its "Streams, Watersheds and Me Program" (SWAMP). This is the second year that ES&C employees will take the day to give of their time and talents to work with local youth. This year's event will again be held on or near Earth Day (April 22, 2005). SWAMP works with students to help them identify environmental issues within their own watershed and helps them develop tools to assess, monitor, and help reduce sources of pollution which effect water quality.
